Jonas Vingegaard’s day turned into a nightmare when he was woken up at 2 a.m. during a surprise anti-doping test at the Tour de France, just hours before the start of a mountain stage. The Danish rider, who had been leading the general classification, suffered a fractured right clavicle after falling during the race, forcing him to withdraw. Meanwhile, Tadej Pogacar, the reigning yellow jersey holder, was also subjected to a late-night test at 5 a.m., leaving both riders with little sleep and impacting their performance. This unusual timing has sparked controversy among teams and athletes, with some calling it a lack of respect for the riders’ well-being. The tests took place during the night between Saturday and Sunday, as part of a broader anti-doping strategy by the International Testing Agency (ITA). Both Pogacar and Vingegaard were tested outside regular competition hours, which is permitted under certain conditions outlined in the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) regulations. These rules allow for testing between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. if there are serious and consistent suspicions of doping violations. However, the timing of these tests, during the early hours of the morning, has raised questions about the impact on athletes’ recovery and performance, especially given the physically demanding nature of the Tour. For Pogacar, the test at 5 a.m. meant missing out on much-needed rest. He described the experience as a “shock,” noting that he usually goes to bed late and found himself waking up with only four hours of sleep. “It wasn’t the time of day for me,” he said, adding that he spent the remaining time drinking coffee and listening to music. Vingegaard, on the other hand, was even more affected. His test came at 2 a.m., and he estimated it took him 40 minutes to fall back asleep. “These tests are justified, but they shouldn’t happen when they interfere with our performance or sleep,” he remarked. The reaction within the cycling community has been mixed. Some riders and team officials have expressed frustration over the disruption caused by the late-night tests. Matteo Jorgenson, a teammate of Vingegaard on the Visma-Lease a Bike team, called the situation a “complete lack of respect.” He emphasized the importance of rest, particularly ahead of two tough mountain stages, and criticized the decision to wake riders in the middle of the night. “We’re trying to recover, and this kind of treatment makes it harder,” he said. Other teams, including the Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe and Decathlon CMA CGM, also faced similar tests later in the evening, though not during the early hours. These tests occurred around 10 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., respectively, allowing riders to still get some rest before the next day’s racing. A team manager from the Red Bull squad, Ralph Denk, confirmed that eight of their riders were tested at 10 p.m., while seven from the Decathlon team were tested earlier. Despite this, the controversy surrounding the early-morning tests continues. The incident has also drawn attention to the broader anti-doping efforts at the Tour de France. The ITA, which oversees the anti-doping program for the UCI, has conducted approximately 1,000 planned tests throughout the event. These include both in-competition and out-of-competition checks, with the goal of maintaining fairness and integrity in the sport. The agency has also introduced new methods of detection, such as monitoring biological passports and analyzing markers related to growth hormone use. The data collected will be stored for up to 10 years, ensuring long-term oversight. The results of the latest tests have already begun to affect the standings. In the 16th stage, Remco Evenepoel claimed victory in a time trial, extending his lead in the overall classification. Pogacar remained in second, while Vingegaard’s withdrawal left a gap in the rankings. The Italian rider Filippo Ganna struggled with the course, finishing over two minutes behind Evenepoel. Meanwhile, the French rider Paul Seixas and the Colombian Isaac Del Toro continue to battle for third place, with Seixas currently holding the advantage. As the Tour moves forward, the focus will remain on the physical and mental challenges facing the riders. With another difficult stage looming, the effects of disrupted sleep and unexpected tests could play a role in determining the outcome. The ongoing debate over the ethics and practicality of late-night testing highlights the complex balance between enforcing anti-doping rules and respecting the demands of professional cycling. For now, the spotlight remains on Pogacar and Evenepoel, with the race still very much open.

Il Fatto QuotidianoNeodvisenSredinapred 11 urami Tour de France, dodatni dopinški pregledi na dan počitka: Pogacarjev in Vingegaardov polemik in testiranje brez primereMed Dirko po Franciji 2026 sta bila dva vodilna kolesarja, Tadej Pogacar in Jonas Vingegaard, podvržena presenetljivim testom na doping v nenavadnih urah - Pogacar ob petih zjutraj in Vingegaard ob dveh zjutraj - s strani Mednarodne testne agencije (ITA). To je sprožilo polemiko v skupini, še posebej po tem, ko je bilo razkrito, da je ta test odobril francoski sodnik v postopkih, rezerviranih za primere, ki vključujejo "resne in utemeljene sumnje". V torek, 21. julija, so se pojavile dodatne informacije, ki kažejo, da je bilo več ekip, vključno z olimpijskim prvakom Remco Evenepoelom, testiranih med zadnjim počitnim dnem. Ti testi so se zgodili pozneje zvečer, okrog osmih do devetih, namesto sredi noči. Voditelji ekip so potrdili, da je testiranje potekalo, ko so nekateri kolesarji že spali, kar je sprožilo vprašanja o času in utemeljitvi takih ukrepov.
